October Round Up

Annabelle has been invited to a few birthday parties so far this fall.  I am enjoying getting to know the kids and moms in her class better!

Its tricky to find time for fun outings during the school year, especially when there are football games every Saturday morning!  I've made an effort to make the most of our early dismissal day this year for this purpose - we even made it to the zoo one Friday afternoon!

One day your son's eating breakfast and asks, "why can't I see the numbers on the oven clock?"  Hmm, that's strange, they are dim.  And then you turn the vacuum on and all the lights dim to about 50% and you think, well I don't remember traveling back to the olden days.  You note the abnormalities but continue on with your busy day only to return home after 8 hours away to an 80 degree house.  Long story short, a couple of visits from this truck and one visit from the electrician later, we have new underground wires from the transformer to our breaker box and we're running on full power.

Its nice to have friends with cool toys!

Math night at the elementary school!  Daddy didn't understand the "proper" solution method and decided to teach his first grader some algebra instead.  Common Core, hear we come!
